"...Unfortunately, as a member of the royal family, it's difficult to join the Adventurer's Guild and become an adventurer. Otherwise, I should have registered for one..."

"It's okay... I'll give you my share of the reward later."

"Hey, give it to me?! Why?"

Alicia was shocked. As a member of the royal family, she was always the one giving money to others. This was the first time she heard someone wanted to share money with her.

"This has nothing to do with our identities, because we are teammates, this is the rule."

"...Forget it, I'd better tell you about the rules of adventurers. There are many conventional rules regarding adventurer teams, including..."

The sound of their conversation gradually faded away in the dungeon, and Hulim, who was originally a lone wolf, gained a teammate today.

... ...

... ...

Manakos Academy.

In the busy cafeteria, Hulim and her roommate, the white-haired cat-eared girl Miko, were having lunch together.

Mi Ke was picking at the delicious lunch on the plate, his ears drooping and his face looking miserable.

"Ah, oh my god! Teacher Griza is so annoying! He scolded me again!"

Hulim raised her head and glanced at Miko.

"I think you were the one who was wrong for sleeping in class."

"Hey, but... but, there's nothing we can do about it! Mr. Grisha always has a cold face and wears all black, even his hair and wand are black. He looks like a cold-blooded killer walking out of a dark alley. It's scary just looking at him!"

“… …”

This is a really vivid metaphor...

However, Mr. Grisa's image and personality problems do make many students fear him.

"Thanks to this, every time I listen to his lectures, I can't concentrate and always end up dozing off~!"

"Yeah?"

Hulim lowered her head and continued to move the spoon.

"...But don't you often fall asleep in other teachers' classes? Do other teachers scare you too?"

“Eh——?!”

Mi Ke was dumbfounded.

His ears twitched and he looked like he was trying hard to think of a reason.

However, after being with her for so long, Hulim already had a clear understanding that her little brain was not working very well, and she didn't think she could come up with any good reasons.

"Hello, can I sit here?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from the other side.
